Dogs and Cats

Susan and I are dog people.  Our first pup was a Springer-Brittany spaniel named Rags.  Rags was a wonderful dog and since then we’ve enjoyed another five loving and enthusiastic companions.  We all enjoy sharing the outdoors together so whenever traveling I tend to watch and listen for members of the dog family; in Yellowstone National Park I once experienced a 3-dog day (seeing a coyote, wolf and fox).  I like cats too and in Serengeti National Park  I once experienced a 3-cat day (seeing a lion, cheetah and leopard).  What follows are a few dog and cat photos.
